Tyco is the Largest Global Fire Protection and Security Solutions Company with $10+ Billion in Revenue

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, Sept. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Tyco (NYSE: TYC), the world's largest dedicated fire protection and security company, completed its separation transaction.
Tyco is a $10+ billion global leader in fire protection and security solutions. Tyco designs, manufactures, installs and services fire protection and security solutions focused on finding smarter ways to save lives, improve businesses and protect where people live and work.
Tyco's broad portfolio of products and services allows the company to partner with customers to help them protect people and assets around the world. Tyco's solutions address these critical needs with leading edge innovations in fire detection and suppression, intrusion, video surveillance, access control, retail security solutions and personal protective equipment as well as monitoring, maintenance and service.
"This is an exciting day for Tyco," said George Oliver, Tyco's new chief executive officer. "As a more focused company, we are positioned to continue to invest in technology and innovation to provide industry-leading fire and security solutions."
George Oliver joined Tyco in July 2006, after serving in various senior executive positions at General Electric. Oliver succeeds Ed Breen, who was chairman and CEO of Tyco International Ltd. since July 2002. Breen will serve as the non-executive chairman of Tyco's Board of Directors.
In connection with the closing of the spin-off transactions, each Tyco shareholder will receive: (i) one share of common stock of The ADT Corporation for every two shares of Tyco common stock held at the close of business on September 17, 2012 (the record date) and (ii) 0.239943 shares of Pentair Ltd. (formerly known as Tyco Flow Control International Ltd.) ("New Pentair") common stock for every share of Tyco common stock held at the close of business on the record date. Fractional shares of ADT and/or New Pentair will not be distributed and any Tyco shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead receive a cash payment. Immediately following the distributions, Pentair, Inc. ("Pentair") merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Pentair.

The distributions have been structured to qualify as tax-free dividends to Tyco shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Cash received in lieu of fractional shares, however, will be taxable. Shareholders are urged to consult with their tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences of the distributions to them.
